Tripod Easel Stand - Aluminium, 60 to 160 cm, Folds Flat

An aluminium tripod easel for a display board, a canvas or a foam-core sign - the stand you put at the door of a function room, a gallery wall or a classroom, and fold away afterwards.

The board rests on the ledge and a self-tightening clamp comes down on top of it, so it stays where you put it instead of sliding forward. It takes a board up to 3.5 cm thick, so a framed canvas or a foam-core panel goes in as easily as a thin sign. The ledge has a slot along it for a sketchpad.

The legs open out to 123 cm across at full height and 50 cm when it is set low. The feet are rubber and rotate, so they sit flat whatever angle the legs are at.

The tube is aluminium alloy - light enough to carry one-handed, and it does not take a set the way thin steel does. It is an indoor stand.

It comes with a carry bag - the folded easel drops into it and goes over a shoulder, so it travels between venues without marking anything in the car.

Questions & Answers

Q: How high does it go?
A: From 60 cm up to 160 cm. The legs are three-stage - twist the collars, slide, twist shut.

Q: How does it hold the board?
A: The board sits on the ledge and a clamp tightens down on its top edge. There is also a slot along the ledge for a sketchpad.

Q: Does it fold?
A: Yes. The legs collapse and the whole easel goes flat, and a carry bag with a shoulder strap comes with it.

Q: How thick a board will it take?
A: Up to 3.5 cm. The clamp arm slides up and down the mast, so you set it to the board you are using.

Q: Can it go outside?
A: It is made for indoor use. It is a 1 kg aluminium easel, so anything more than still air will move it.
